Migrating to Cloud? It's also a good time to rethink what you're paying for test management

[#1]

Hey everyone,

If your team is in the middle of planning a Jira Cloud migration, there's a good chance your test management tool is coming up for a repricing conversation too. Cloud licensing for Marketplace apps doesn't always map cleanly onto what you were paying on Data Center, and a lot of teams end up re-evaluating their whole toolset at this point anyway. If that's you, it's worth taking a look at RTM for Jira Cloud before you just re-buy whatever you had before.

Why this is worth a look

RTM covers the same ground as tools like Xray, Zephyr, and QMetry: requirements, test cases, test plans, executions, and defects, all living natively inside Jira with real traceability and coverage reporting. The difference tends to show up on the invoice. Depending on the tool and tier you're comparing against, RTM typically comes out 50 to 180% cheaper on an annual basis for the same user count.

That gap tends to widen as your team grows, since a lot of standalone QA suites scale their pricing more aggressively than RTM does.

You don't lose functionality to get there

This isn't a stripped-down budget option. RTM Cloud includes REST API, AI-assisted test case creation, a traceability matrix, requirement test coverage reports, baselines, and configurable dashboards, the kind of features you'd expect to pay a premium for elsewhere.

“RTM saves our clients thousands of euros and thousands of working hours. With everything linked across the full V-Model, we can prove requirement coverage, generate traceability matrices instantly and stay audit-ready without slowing down development.”

Coming from another tool?

If you're currently on Xray, Zephyr, QMetry, or something similar, switching doesn't mean starting from zero. We provide dedicated migration scripts to move your historical data over, plus hands-on support during implementation, so your team isn't rebuilding test cases from scratch.
